<h1>Copying an object</h1>
<p>As part of organizing your folders and other objects, you can copy reports, 
 documents, filters, prompts, folders, and other objects.</p>
<p>Copying an object is different from 
<a HREF="Create_shortcuts.htm">creating 
 a shortcut to an object</a>. A shortcut is only a reference to an object, 
 not an actual copy of it.</p>
<h2>Prerequisite </h2>
<ul type="disc" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p>DHTML must be enabled. See 
<a HREF="DHTML-only_features_in_Web.htm">Enabling 
 DHTML in MicroStrategy Web</a>.</p></li>
</ul>
<h2>To copy an object</h2>
<ol type="1" class="whs2">
	
<li class=p><p>Browse to the folder that contains the object you want 
 to copy.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Right-click the object to copy and select <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Copy</B></span>. 
 The Copy dialog box opens.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Do one of the following:</p></li>
	<ul type="square" class="whs3">
		
<li class=p><p>Browse to the folder where you want to copy the 
 object and click <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>OK</B></span>.</p></li>
	</ul>
</ol>
<ol type="disc" class="whs4">
	<ul type="square" class="whs3">
		
<li class=p><p>Create a new folder to copy the object into by clicking 
 the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Create New Folder</B></span> icon <img src="images/createfolder.gif" x-maintain-ratio="TRUE" width="18px" height="16px" border="0" class="img_whs5">. 
 Type a name for the new folder and click <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>OK</B></span>.</p></li>
	</ul>
</ol>
<p class="whs6">The object is copied to the folder. </p>
